Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

35.4K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Social Facilitation

32.9K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Framing Effects

7.5K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Barriers to Effective Communication II

3.8K
The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Flashbulb Memory01:16

Flashbulb Memory

135
A flashbulb memory is a highly vivid and detailed memory, often linked to events of significant emotional impact. These memories stand out in contrast to everyday memories due to their clarity and the precision with which they are recalled. The strong emotions associated with the event act as a catalyst, ensuring that specific details, such as one's location, actions, and even peripheral elements, are etched into memory with remarkable accuracy. For example, many people can vividly recall...

Forgetting01:21

Forgetting

123
Forgetting is an intrinsic aspect of human memory, characterized by the gradual loss or inaccessibility of information over time. Hermann Ebbinghaus, a pioneering psychologist, extensively studied this phenomenon and formulated the forgetting curve. This curve illustrates that memory loss occurs rapidly immediately after learning and then decelerates over time. Several mechanisms contribute to forgetting, including encoding failure, storage decay, retrieval failure, and interference.

Summary

Digital media overstimulation causes "global forgetting," eroding memory and focus. This sociotechnical process, linked to denialism and post-truths, intentionally rewrites collective memory.

Area of Science:

  • Psychoneurology
  • Sociocultural studies
  • Media studies

Context:

  • Digital media overstimulation leads to memory and focus decay, termed 'global forgetting'.
  • This phenomenon extends beyond individual psychology to sociocultural, technical, political, and economic factors.
  • Communicative curation technologies erase collective identity references, enabling disinformation acceptance.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the scientific evidence of memory and focus decay due to digital media overstimulation.
  • To investigate the ethical implications of communicative curation technologies.
  • To explore the sociotechnical nature of memory erasure and its link to disinformation.

Summary:

  • Digital media overstimulation causes 'global forgetting,' a sociotechnical process impacting memory and focus.
  • This process erases collective identity references, facilitating disinformation and the construction of post-truths.
  • Historical examples, like 'people's radio' during Nazism, illustrate how disinformation incites hatred and denialism.

Impact:

  • Questions the ethicality of digital technologies that empty individual and collective memory.
  • Highlights the deliberate erasure of past references to mitigate cognitive dissonance and rewrite history.
  • Establishes interdependencies between 'global forgetting,' denialism, and post-truths.
